SWEET CORN
With less land available, a big
Detasseling at Chris Gross Farms.
challenge is maintaining pure isolations
from neighboring crops. Untimely high
winds can jeopardize pollination.
As popcorn stalks are higher
than seed corn stalks, mechanical
detasseling is required. For seed corn,
crews may work fields five to seven
times in two weeks to ensure female
tassels are pulled. Detasseling timing
is critical in maintaining seed purity.
Complete protection of a growing
environment for proper pollination is
important growing sweet corn seed.
Gross grows popular sweet corn
seed varieties, including Ambrosia,
Troubadour, and Xanadu, for seed
companies like Crookham Co. in
nearby Caldwell, Idaho.
